But he was riddled with arthritis, and looking back I wonder if it would have been kinder to let him go than to keep him around and sprinkling ground up tylenol on his food. <BR/><BR/>He stayed at my parent's house when I got married and moved, so as to be easier on his body. The day my mom called me at work to tell me he was gone, I broke down and sobbed like my heart was breaking. <BR/><BR/>Just knowing what I know of you, I know that Hercules is now where all the good dogs go, telling everyone how amazing his time here with you was.The Sports Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975653596215246648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903965937652386634.post-21371155901339219172008-02-10T20:51:00.000-08:002008-02-10T20:51:00.000-08:00Oh, I just found you and I'm so sorry to read this...Oh, I just found you and I'm so sorry to read this.
